T500 Modifications

The club owns a Tait T535 and a Tait T520C. These are quite easy to modify for operation on amateur bands, so this is what shall be done.

One of the radios works on transmit. Channel 1 is 145.200 and channel 2 is a shade under 186.000. Receive is unconfirmed, calculations suggest weird frequencies in the 130 MHz range and the 190 MHz range. TODO: alter the solder bridges to shift RX to somewhere sensible and test.

T535

  • Can be easily modified for 2m or 4m operation
    • Channel 1 has been set to 145.350 MHz with the jumper settings below
    • Channel 2?

These are the jumper settings for 145.350 MHz, as per http://www.davidmpye.com/?q=node/17
